Florida lawmakers are looking to children to fill low-wage jobs left open by the undocumented immigration crackdown, CNN reports.
You are 1000 times right
Ripley discusses trauma early in the book and there appears to be some correlation between the size of a person's hippocampus and their capacity to absorb and rebound from traumatic events.
You also saw the late-January Redditor spreadsheet listing his personal cell phone number, parents' home address, and his personal email address? I can't believe that dude was dumb enough to leave all that information casually lying around on the world wide web for just anyone to find through public search channels.
I got caught up on the term 'empathy for self.' I haven't read the book, but I visited the link and couldn't get past what I felt was a tragically flawed oxymoron. But maybe that's a flaw with the Wikipedia article and not the source material, so I'll endeavor to seek out the book at some point to learn more.
That's the irony of it. I'm by no means a scholar of Thich Nhat Hanh, but I remember reading an account from his early life as a Vietnamese monk during the conflict with imperial France in which he had basically nothing and was himself barely surviving, but still found a way to feel peace and express compassion for a young French soldier suffering from malaria who desperately raided the monastery at gunpoint.
Aversion of pain is a pretty powerful deterrent. I guess there may need to be a critical mass of empathic individuals in a community to tip the scale in favor of everyone being more empathic and feeling generally better for it. Misery shared and understood amongst peers seems to always feel better than misery in solitude.
What kinds of things did you consciousnessly and intentionally do to train yourself into a healthier and more empathic frame of mind? Did you naturally gravitate toward a vocation requiring calm decisiveness under pressure in dynamic and unpredictable situations?
Sorry. I've never in my life ever been accused of being based, but my personal memories consistently paint me as a paragon of cringe, so you might be on to something. You're welcome to transcribe any part(s) you think might be relevant to improve its accessibility, searchability, and generally superior functionality.
That's pretty wild and really cool to ponder. Battery placement and balancing its weight safely seems like a steep hurdle for bolt-on EV conversions.
There very well could be something innate. Later in the chapter, Ripley writes about heroes who did what they did because they felt they wouldn't have been able to live with the sense of cowardice for not acting. The fear of future self loathing overpowered their fear of present peril.
As for nurture vs. nature origins of empathy, I'm looking forward to watching Boarding On Insanity.
I like the way you think. When Tesla tanks and gets sold off for pennies, could you please start a Tesla Conversion business? I'd like to have a useful EV pickup that can carry a slide-in truck camper. I don't need any of that self-driving shit or connections to the Cloud or giant touch screens. Just pedals, gauges, levers, buttons, and a steering wheel.
I have duly upvoted your obvious sarcasm.
Because they're the popular kids!
And they're rich.
I'm not saying these are good reasons, just that they're reasons.
TIL Heroes tend to just be well-adjusted people who learned to feel empathy as children, often from caring and patient parents

I guess it's not exactly surprising, but it seems to explain a lot of things I'm witnessing in my later adulthood. I've always felt deeply impressed by selfless heroes, but I never really pondered the profile of heroism.
Honestly surprised the megapharma corporations that manufacture and profit off vaccines have been tolerating him this well.
Senate Bill 918 would allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts.
Currently, teens are prevented from working earlier than 6:30 a.m. or later than 11 p.m.
Gov. Ron DeSantis is in favor of the bill.
“Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people,” DeSantis said at an immigration panel, according to the network. “And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now? I mean, that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.”
The bill, according to CNN, would also eliminate working time restrictions on 14- and 15-year-olds if they are home-schooled and end guaranteed meal breaks for teens aged 16 and 17.
It went in front of the Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee on Tuesday, where it advanced with a 5 to 4 recommendation.

GOP Minnesota Senators introduce bill that defines ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ as mental illness
www.startribune.com Republican state senators in Minnesota introduce bill that defines ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ as a mental illness
The invented term, which describes those who criticize the president, is en vogue again after making the rounds during his first term.
Five Minnesota Senate Republicans are seeking to dub “Trump derangement syndrome” (TDS), a term coined to describe a form of criticism of President Donald Trump, as an official mental illness recognized under state statute.
Eric Lucero, R-St. Michael, Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, Nathan Wesenberg, R-Little Falls, Justin D. Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, and Glenn H. Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe, are the five politicians who drafted the bill that would add the so-called “syndrome” to a lengthy list of definitions related to mental health care in Minnesota.
If passed, a section of a statute that includes definitions for terms including “diagnostic assessment” and “outpatient services” would be appended to add one for TDS. The authors describe TDS as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons” in reaction to Trump’s policies.
If something like this passed, wonder how easy it would be for the authorities to confiscate someone's weapons and/or forcibly relocate them to a 'mental asyl
